Chapter 47: A God-Given Opportunity

When Xiao Yan began to pay attention to the envoy of the Central Plains, Li Xuandu was also understanding the details of Xiao Yan's background.

Although it is claimed to the public that the big and small clans are sisters of the same father and mother, as long as you think about it carefully, there are some places that cannot withstand scrutiny.

In fact, the Xiao Yan family and the Da Yan family are from the same family, but they are not biological sisters, but cousins. The reason why the two are sisters of the same father and mother is because the status of Xiao Yan's biological parents is not high, if Xiao Yan is the sister of Da Yan, it can elevate Xiao Yan's identity and make it easier to marry Lao Khan.

There is a lot of age difference between the two people, in the words of the Central Plains, the big Yan is the Yuan distribution wife of the old Khan, a few years younger than the old Khan, and it is already close to the old age, and the Xiao Yan is not confused, the two are nearly thirty years apart, although they are sisters, but they are already two generations thoroughly, when the big Yan was married, the Xiao Yan was not born, and even the son of the Great Yan was older than the Xiao Yan. The relationship between the two can be imagined, except that they are from the same family, there is no intersection, but because of each other's competition for favor, even the superficial sisters cannot be maintained.

Two sisters serve a husband, this kind of thing is not uncommon, to go deeper, let alone two sisters serving a husband, even two sisters and brothers, that is also there. At that time, the Murong family had a pair of sisters and brothers, the elder sister was captivating the country and the city, and the younger brother had the posture of Longyang, both of whom were included in the harem by the emperor, and there was a ballad that said: "One female and one male, both flew into the Purple Palace." In addition, the marriage of the family is a good marriage between two surnames, and there is a saying that "the sister dies and the sister fills the house", that is, after the sister dies, the sister will marry the brother-in-law, one is to continue the in-law relationship between the two families, and the other is that the aunt is the stepmother and will not treat the children left by the sister slowly. Back then, Tian Khan killed his brother to force his father to abdicate, and married his younger brother and daughter-in-law, not because he was lustful, but because he wanted to win over the family behind his brother-in-law and continue the in-law relationship between the two families.

As for why the Xiao Yan clan married Lao Khan many years later, it also has a lot to do with the Da Yan clan. When Xiao Yan was fifteen years old, Da Yan had a serious illness and his life hung by a thread, at this time, Da Yan's family was naturally unwilling to give up his identity as a descendant, so he sent the young and beautiful Xiao Yan to the old Khan's golden horde. At that time, Lao Khan's four clans were vacant in a position, so Lao Khan named his sister-in-law as the Zhuqu clan, and he would be promoted to the Da Clan. At that time, I am afraid that except for Mingli Khan and Ili Khan, they all regarded the Da Yan clan as a dead person, just waiting for her to take her last breath. But Da Yan was probably stimulated by everyone's cool attitude, and he didn't take his last breath alive or dead, but gradually after lingering on the sickbed for more than a year

It's getting better.

Because of this, the Zhuqu clan was not promoted to the Great Clan, but because she was very favored by the old Khan, she became more and more powerful in the royal court, and she was a sister to the Great Clan, so she was called the Little Clan, which means the person who is second only to the Great Clan. It is probably the relationship between the queen and the imperial concubine in the Central Plains court, one is the queen and the other is the deputy queen.

However, after that, the Great Clan not only harbored great hostility towards the Lesser Clan, but also disgusted the family that offered the Elder Khan the Clan. But it also makes sense. He is seriously ill and dying, and his relatives don't care about his life and death, and he is still thinking about how to let his sister marry his husband and take his place, so as to ensure the longevity of the family.

Because of this, the relationship between the Xiao Yan family and the family is getting deeper and deeper, while the Da Yan family is almost breaking with the family, which can also explain why the Xiao Yan family has risen in power over the years, in addition to the favor of the old Khan, it is also indispensable to the strong support of the family behind it.

Many royal court magnates don't know these secrets, and a considerable part of them are only passed on by mouth among the female dependents, so Li Xuan can be regarded as asking the right person, although Yue Parting is not married, but it is also within the scope of female dependents, and he was able to know these secret pasts from the conversations of many noble ladies.

In addition, it is the temperament of the Xiao Yan clan. In the words of Yue Li's parting, she is a woman who is good at disguise, in the eyes of people who don't know the details, she is a grassland woman who is diametrically opposed to the Central Plains woman, the Central Plains woman is gentle like water, but the grassland woman is as passionate as fire. He liked to hold banquets, race horses, hunt, and even accompanied the old Khan on expeditions to suppress rebellious tribes. For an emperor like Lao Khan, who enjoys the honor of the world, the appearance of a woman is no longer the most important thing, perhaps it is Xiao Yan's body, he feels the vitality of youth, so he will especially favor Xiao Yan.

But in fact, Xiao Yan is a scheming person, and over the years, she has removed many opponents who are enemies of her, but she has never touched the bottom line of Lao Khan, and has paved the way for Yaomu Khan, which can be said to have single-handedly supported Yaomu Khan to today's status. In the opinion of Yue Parting, if Xiao Yan is not the concubine of Lao Khan, but one of the five right kings with golden blood flowing on his body, then Lao Khan does not have to choose at all, and will directly designate her as the new Great Khan.

After listening to the introduction of Yue's parting, Li Xuandu already had a general impression of Xiao Yan's family, and gradually had a plan in his heart. If it is replaced by another time, with the background of the Golden Horde, let alone the current Li Xuandu, even if it is Li Xuandu who has set foot in the immortal realm, it is impossible to set off too many waves. But the time and place are favorable, and the old Khan is old and decrepit, and it seems that he will be in the future

At the end of the day, the kings were eyeing each other and hostile to each other, causing the undercurrent of gold to surge, and there were faint signs of the tent being torn apart. Lao Khan reigned for a Jiazi, it can be said that there was such a time, a huge empire is never broken from the outside, the biggest crisis often comes from the inside, for Li Xuandu, this is a godsend.

I think the old Khan also saw this, so he asked Liaodong for peace, in order to spend this period of time in peace, and it was because of this decision of the old Khan that Li Xuandu was given an opportunity.

Zhao Zheng just hopes that Li Xuan can find out the truth of the royal court, the reason is that Zhao Zheng wants to give Li Xuandu and the Qin family face, after all, Li Xuan is the son-in-law of the Qin family, not a subordinate of Zhao Zheng, it is not good to ask too much, judging from the previous plan, it is not as simple as finding out the truth and the truth in person, and it is likely to take the opportunity to disturb the Golden Horde. After Li Xuandu figured out the reality of the royal court, he would not sit back and watch this excellent opportunity that only Jiazi had at his age slip away from his eyes.

The thoughts of Yue's parting are even more complicated. She's not stupid, she's a top-notch smart person. From Li Xuandu's words and deeds, she had already guessed what Li Xuandu was going to do, but she had to share a boat with Li Xuandu for various reasons, not only was her life in Li Xuandu's hands, but she was also saved by Li Xuandu more than once, and her complicated mood can be imagined.

Yue Parting, as the face of the Yue Ji Khan family, like the vast majority of powerful people, does not have too many feelings for the family and country, and does not want to die for the Golden Horde, but she also understands the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if the Golden Horde is broken, then the Golden Horde is not only unable to go south to the Central Plains, but may also be counterattacked by the Central Plains. Just as the people of the Central Plains cannot hope for the benevolence of the Golden Horde people in seeking the way of the peaceful world, nor can the people of the Golden Horde hope that the people of the Central Plains will not look down on the bitter cold grassland, this is the fundamental contradiction between the two sides.

Yue Parting originally wanted to support Yaomu Hu Khan to ascend to the position of Great Khan, so whether she became the Yan clan or became the new Yue Jie Khan, she would be satisfied. Who would have thought that she would not die and meet this mysterious Qin Gongzi, her cronies were killed cleanly, and she became his accomplice. The people of the Central Plains have an allusion called "Acting for the Tiger", which means that the person who is eaten by the tiger will become a ghost after death, and specially lure people to eat the tiger. Yue Lizhuo felt that this allusion was very suitable for herself, this Qin Xuance was a man-eating tiger, and she was a poor ghost.

Yue's parting heart was complicated and indescribable, and she couldn't help but look at the north gate of the royal court.

According to the time, Zixue Behan and Yuejibehan should also arrive, anyway, Zixuebehan is her childhood friend, Yuejibehan is her eldest brother, except for them, Yuebie Khan doesn't know who to rely on.
